ABRAHAM MORRIS, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

COMBINED CHAIR SEAT AND CUSHION.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 389,481, datedSeptember 11, 1888.

(No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM MoRRIs, of San Francisco, in the countyofSan Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and usefulCombined Chair Seat and Cushion, of which the following isaspecification.

My invention relates, especially, to cushions and seats for chairs,settees, &e., and has for its object the production of a device wherebythe cushion and seat are combined in one and the same article and can beapplied to the chair'frame with little trouble and small expense, andwhich enables me to apply the device to chair-frames and settees, &c.,the seats of which have become useless; and theinvenlion consists in theconstruction, arrangement, and combination of parts, substantially aswill be hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form part of thisspecification, Figure 1 is aview in section through chair-bottom of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of wood portion of seat andchair-frame. Fig. 3 is a section through a wooden stool. Fig. 4 is aplan view. Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion of Fig. 1.

In carrying out my invention any suitable substance or material willanswer for the stuifing or padding A and covering B of the seat, and inpractice the edge of the latter is brought around over the edge of theinner or first board or plate,C, and nailed to the lower face thereof,as at a a. The bottom board or plate, D, is then placed over the plateC, with the fiber or grain of the wood transversely or at right anglesto it, and the plate D nailed or screwed to the plate C, and this holdsthe edge of the covering between the two plates in a firm manner.

It should here be observed that the bottom plate, D, is of greaterdimension than the plate C, and when in position extends beyond thecushion at all points and furnishes a means for tacking the cushions tothe chair-frame E, which is accomplished by the nails orscrews b 1).Over the nail or screw heads is tacked the upholstering lace or band F,for ornament or to cover the nail-heads from view. By this constructionit will be seen that the covering of the cushion is firmly held betweenthe two plates, and that the seat is well fortified and cannot be easilysplit or broken.

Having thus described myinveution, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

The combined chair seat and cushion herein described, consisting of thepacking A, the covering B therefor, the plate or board C, to which saidcovering is attached at the points a a, and the bottom board or plate,D,of larger size than plate C, secured to said plate C and likewise tothe chair-frame E, said plates C and D holding the edge of the coveringB firmly between them, all substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand andseal.
